Mexican federal prosecutors have launched an investigation into singer Gabito Ballesteros after state police detained him during a concert cut short at a fair in Santiago de Querétaro, central Mexico on Saturday 14 November 2026. Ballesteros, a 27-year-old corridos tumbados artist, was taken into custody at 04:00, and a firearms investigation ensued.
The case has sparked a dispute over an approved song list, with Ballesteros claiming he was cleared to sing "AMG," a song he performed despite being on an allegedly restricted list. Authorities allege Ballesteros carried a firearm, disobeyed orders, and attempted to evade police, while he maintains he was given permission to perform "AMG."
The investigation involves five people and alleges the possession of a pistol, two magazines, and 34 cartridges. The legal status of all five remains undetermined, but they are considered suspects until further notice.
